I have an elf sorc that I play. I was wondering, if you had a on human race the took an aquired template like half dragon, would that be possible? If so would all the bonuses and penalties stack like the dex bonus from both races?

Half-dragon is not acquired, it is inherited. The bonuses and penalties for ability scores stack, but any named ("racial") bonuses do not. Yes, you can apply most templates to nonhumans (this is described in the template, if it says it can be applied to "any creature", "any living creature", or "any humanoid", you can apply it to any PHB race).
